Your addition to 2010 Summer Youth Olympics has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. ''Hi there, your latest additions to the article seem to have taken large chunks of copy-pasted text from the Singapore 2010 website, with little to no rephrasing in your own words. Wikipedia can't accept copyright violations, or even close paraphrasing, so I've had to undo your edits. Please don't be disheartened. If you have any questions, just respond on this page and I'll answer them. Best,'' Strange Passerby (talk • contribs) 11:53, 13 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I see you re-added similar content. I have tagged the section for cleanup and for possible close paraphrasing. A word of advice: don't even copy and paste a source. The moment you do that you open the text up to the possibility of being a copyright violation, even if you reword it slightly (which in one case in this most recent addition, you did not). Also, please note that Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source. Regards. Strange Passerby (talk • contribs) 05:15, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).
